The science teachers I remember most weren't very good with science. One of them I asked why the radiation in a nuclear bomb was deadly where as the radiation from the sun wasn't, and she just said it was the chemicals in the nuclear bomb. I know now that it's the intensity of it for the most part. I asked another science teacher what would happen if you put water in a vacuum, would it expand like gasses? He said yes. I know now that the answer is no, the water would simply boil.
Science teachers in 'Murica man, they aren't scientifically literate. That's a problem.
In this instance is boiling not expansion?
Boiling is a liquid turning into a gas. I asked if the liquid water would expand, like in a tube if you removed all the water. It wouldn't.
